Hello! I'm Genevieve and I'm a Canadian children's books illustrator living in Montreal.
I have been working in illustration for 15+ years. My work is digitally painted and features engaging characters and animals, magic and funny situations. When I'm not illustrating I like to spend my time reading fantasy, adventure and mystery novels, exploring brunch places in my city, travelling, and teaching myself new skills like yoga, jewellery making and sculpture. I share my studio with my cat Clara.

I'm currently working on middle grade fiction books.

I am represented by Emily Fernandez at Bright Illustration Agency.
